accept(8) Apple Inc. accept(8)NAME
accept/reject - accept/reject jobs sent to a destination
SYNOPSISaccept [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -h hostname[:port] ] destination(s)
reject [ -E ] [ -U username ] [ -h hostname[:port] ] [ -r reason ] des‐
tination(s)DESCRIPTIONaccept instructs the printing system to accept print jobs to the speci‐
fied destinations.
reject instructs the printing system to reject print jobs to the speci‐
fied destinations. The -r option sets the reason for rejecting print
jobs. If not specified the reason defaults to "Reason Unknown".
OPTIONS
The following options are supported by both accept and reject:
-E
Forces encryption when connecting to the server.
-U username
Sets the username that is sent when connecting to the server.
-h hostname[:port]
Chooses an alternate server.
-r "reason"
Sets the reason string that is shown for a printer that is reject‐
ing jobs.
COMPATIBILITY
Unlike the System V printing system, CUPS allows printer names to con‐
tain any printable character except SPACE, TAB, "/", or "#". Also,
printer and class names are not case-sensitive.
The CUPS versions of accept and reject may ask the user for an access
password depending on the printing system configuration. This differs
from the System V versions which require the root user to execute these
commands.
